2024 marked a historic milestone for Columbus airports, with John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) and Rickenbacker International Airport experiencing record-breaking passenger traffic for 10 out of 12 months. Combined, the two airports served over 9.2 million travelers, reflecting a 6.7% increase compared to 2023.
Joseph Nardone, CEO of the Columbus Regional Airport Authority (CRAA), highlighted the growing momentum in a statement, citing the groundbreaking of the new CMH terminal in December, record passenger numbers, and an expanding list of nonstop destinations as key achievements. He also commended the CRAA team for their outstanding service while advancing the new terminal’s construction.
Currently, Columbus airports provide service to more than 50 nonstop destinations, with additional routes being introduced. In March, American Airlines is set to begin flights to Los Angeles International Airport.
The increase in passenger numbers coincides with the construction of the new terminal at John Glenn Columbus International Airport, a $2 billion project that began on December 9. The terminal is projected to be completed by 2029.
